Summary

He became a best-selling novelist while still in college, immediately famous and wealthy. He watched his insufferable father reduced to a bag of ashes in a safety-deposit box. He was lost in a haze of booze, drugs and vilification. 

Then he was given a second chance. 

This is the life of Bret Easton Ellis, the author and subject of this remarkable novel. Confounding one expectation after another, Lunar Park is equally hilarious, horrifying and heartbreaking. It’s the most original novel of an extraordinary career - and best of all: it all happened, every word is true.

Critic reviews

“Great emotional complexity and depth...it’s a very interesting ride with an always interesting novelist – and, as such, is one worth taking.” (The Times)

Wonderful narration of an excellent novel

I am an unapologetic Brett Easton Ellis fan. For whatever reason I had never read this book before. It’s a stunner. Really enjoyable and the narration is superb. There is also a short and very interesting interview with the author at the end of the book itself. It would make a great club choice.

Complex but builds to a great climax

Difficult start but hugely rewarding to stay the distance. Really thought provoking about relationships and families
